He has a rangy athletic frame that allows him to cover a lot of ground in a short time length. Harrison showed off his athleticism by finishing around the rim with an electric dunk. He showed he cold make plays for others by getting them the basketball in the right spots. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1406034"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-675efb0f0df3e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Polar who is known for his ability to be a deep ball threat lived up to those exceptions with four three pointers.

He had 11 of his 26 points in the 2nd quarter. He is a jumbo guard who thrives from behind the arc but also can navigate off the dribble. He does a really good job moving without the basketball. If his feet are set, good luck he probably is converting from deep. He has long branchlike limbs and is in sync. If he keeps progressing Schanbacher has a chance to be a very familiar name in the Northeast region as a prospect in hoops circles. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
